Hi thee,
I posted this in a similar forum - I'm due to pick up my Prius around mid-April here in PA. I'm a little concerned by some of the posters who say they've had problems with the traction control - the car 'dying when going up a slight incline that's a little slippery.
All cars I know have had a button to disable tracation control in these situations, so you can at least 'continue' and try and pull yourself out of a stop.
Is there ANY solution to this problem? I know some have stated to get snow tires, or better tires. I suppose I could, but I haven't bought snows since I had a '75 Fiesta. Cars should come with all weather tires. I guess I'm having some doubts and this may actually kill the deal for me, since I place a pretty high importance on not getting stuck. : -(
Anyone?
Thank you.
Kevin
